The past should be the past

If you had a time machine and could send just one message to your past self, what would it say?

It’s so easy to get stuck looking backward. Replying to mistakes, holding on to regret,or wishing you could redo yesterday. But yesterday was gone, and it already took, what it was going to take.

Tomorrow,on the other hand,is full of possibilities. A new opportunity,a new connection,a new chance to get it right.

Live life for what tomorrow has to offer, not for what yesterday has taken

Here are 3 gentle reminders to help you shift your focus forward:

1.Let go to grow .

2.Focus on what you can control. You can’t change the past, but you can absolutely shape what you do next. One small, intentional action today creates momentum for tomorrow.

3.Stay open to what is next. The best things in life often come when you least expect them, but only if you are looking ahead with hope instead of behind with hurt.

You can’t move forward if you are still holding on to what is weighing you down. Acknowledge what happened, take the lesson, and leave the rest behind.

Your past shaped you, but it doesn’t have to define you. Keep your eyes on what is coming. That is where your future is waiting.

Katherine V.Forrest

If i could have dinner with any author,it would be Katherine V. Forrest

For anyone who loves classic lesbian lectures,her novel Curious Wine is iconic. Published back in 1983. It helped define the romance genre as we know it today and paved the way for so many authors who came after her.

Which author would you love to have dinner with?

What i love about Curious Wine is how timeless it is. The tension and the slow burn!

Her work has such an inspiration to me and has shaped how i think about storytelling, representation, and creating characters that truly connect with readers.

Upinzani unapoteza njama?

Upinzani wa Kenya unaelekea katika wakati mgumu kabla ya uchaguzi mkuu wa 2027.

Kihistoria,umoja wa upinzani umekuwa sababu kubwa zaidi katika kuunda matokeo ya uchaguzi wa Kenya. Changamoto iliyo mbele si tu kuhusu kukosoa utawala wa sasa,bali pia kuhusu kuwasilisha njia mbadala iliyo wazi na yenye umoja.

Hapa kuna vipimo vitatu muhimu vya kutazama:

1.Ujenzi wa muungano:

Je,watu wakuu wa upinzani wanaweza pamoja kukaa chini ya mwavuli mmoja au mgawanyiko utadhoofisha msimamo wao? Chaguzi zilizopita zinaonyesha upinzani uliogawanyika mara chache hushinda.

2.Sera dhidi ya Utu :

Wapiga kura wanazidi kuangalia zaidi ya utu. Upinzani utahotaji ajenda thabiti kuhusu gharama ya maisha,kazi,huduma za afya na ugatuzi inayowavutia watu wa kawaida.

3.Vijana na wapiga kura wapia:

Kwa mamilioni wa wapiga kura vijana na wa mara ya kwanza wanatarajiwa mwaka wa 2027, kuungana na wapiga kura wa kizazi Z na wamilenia mtandaoni na nje ya mtandao kutakuwa muhimu sana.

Barabara ya kuelekea 2027, itajaribu mkakati,umoja,na utabaki madarakani. Kwa waangalishi wa kisiasa, wachambuzi,na raia,huu ndio wakati ambapo simulizi huundwa na kasi hujengwa.

Unafikiri ni kikwazo gani kikubwa zaidi kwa upinzani kabla ya 2027?

Faith in people

Sometimes faith in people is restored in the smallest moments.

What’s a moment when a stranger completely restored your faith in people?

I was waiting at a bus stop the other day and watched a young rider get on, swipe their card, and hear that dreaded beep, insufficient funds. You could see the panic set in. They were clearly stranded, holding up the line, apologising over and over while digging through their pockets .

Before the driver could say anything,a stranger behind them just stepped forward, tapped their own card and said,”i got you. Go ahead”.

No lectures. No hesitation. No waiting for a thank you.

The person they helped was so relieved they almost didn’t know what to say. They just nodded and said thank you quietly as they found a seat.

It was a small fare. Maybe two dollars. But it was everything in that moment.

May your hard work bring you great results, joy and new adventures

If your future self could send you one sentence, what do you hope it would say?

Every late night, every early morning, every small step you take is building something bigger than you can see right now. Keep showing up, keep learning and keep moving forward, your effort is planting seeds for opportunities you haven’t even imagined yet.

Here’s to progress, to grow, and to the exciting journey ahead. You haven’t got this!

Mukimo

What’s the best local dish you’ve ever eaten while traveling?

Travel has taught me that the best way to understand a culture is through its food, the best local dish I’ve ever eaten while travelling has to be Mukimo.

If you haven’t tried it, Mikono is a traditional Kenyan dish made from potatoes smashed together with arrow root leaves, maize and beans. It’s hearty,earthy, and incredibly comforting.

What makes it so special is how simple, wholesome ingredients are transformed into something so flavourful and satisfying. It’s usually served with a hearty stew and is a perfect example of how local cuisine tells the story of a place and its people.

If you get the chance to visit central Kenya, do yourself a favor and try the authentic Mukimo. You won’t regret it.

Justice And Communism

What’s a thing you wish schools actually taught?

One thing i wish school had actually taught more is justice and communism.

So much of what we learn in school focuses on dates and definitions, not enough on the systems that shape our lives.

Understanding different economics and social systems, what justice really means in practice, and how things like bribery and corruption can get in the way of fairness, that’s the kind of knowledge that helps you think critically about the world around you.

It’s never too late to keep learning and asking questions about how we can build a more just  system for everyone.

Ebola is a deadly disease

Ebola is a serious and potentially deadly disease but compassion and accurate information matter.

Don’t handle or eat wild animals or bushmeat, especially animals that may be ill or found dead.

Help reduce risk by following guidance from public health authorities:

Avoid contact with blood or other bodily fluids from anyone who may be sick.

Don’t handle or eat wild animals or bush meat, especially animals that may be ill or found dead .

Seek medical advice promptly if you develop symptoms such as fever, severe weakness, vomiting, diarrhea,or  unexplained bleeding after possible exposure.

Avoid stigmatizing people affected by Ebola, support survivors, patients, families, and healthcare workers.

For current guidance, contact your local health department or the world health organisation.

My cat and dog

Share a photo of your pet and tell us one thing that makes them uniquely them.

Ever wonder what makes a great pets team? Here’s what I’ve learned from my own expert at home.

My dog has an incredible sense of timing, he always alerts me the moment someone is approaching, long before i even hear a sound. He is my loyal security system.

And my cat? She’s the silent guardian of the kitchen, making sure no rats or cockroaches get near or attack our food. No waste,no spoilage.

Tip for fellow pet lovers: every pet has a unique natural strength. When you notice and nurture what they are naturally good at, they don’t just become pets, they become partners.

What unique skills does your pet have? Share in the comments,I’d love to hear!
